Evolution of Phantasm's Title Treatment

When Pixascope was asked to redesign the Phantasm website, one question popped up - What is the definitive title treatment for Phantasm? After four movies, books, comics and multiple DVD releases, there has been a slew of variations and new takes on the logo.

Director Don Coscarelli was interested in a return to the film’s roots, which is the classic serifed title used in the 70s, and who could argue?  However, it was the sequel that established the now iconic chiseled chrome look .  Not wanting to ignore these two elements, we married the two together, while drawing influence from actual mausoleums to add  a new level of engraved gothic detail, resulting in the title treatment you see above.
